A DIVISION OF ayt,palv LUMBER CO LTD By JACK RIDDELL P Huron-Middlesex This week in the Legislature, the Minister of Agriculture and Food introduced the Farm Income Stabilization Act, 1976. Mr. Newman, in his in- troduction said that it will play a vital role in maintaining a strong agricultural base in Ontario to the benefit of both producer and consumer, He outlined the events and policies that have led to this legislation, Farmers, he said have always been plagued by the problem of cash returns fluc- tuating wildly from one year to the next. With farm production costs spiralling, there has been intensive discussion in recent years of ways to help offset periods of low market prices and thus bring greater stability to the whole agriculture and food complex. The goal is to set support price levels high enough to be meaningful in the lean years, but not so high that they would act as incentives for over- production. The key provisions of the Act, Mr. Newman said, provides for the appointment of five or more members to a Farm Income Stabilization Commission of Ontario. They will administer a permanent fund for programmes providing support to all Ontario commodities other than those named or designated under the Federal Act and those regulated by marketing boards that both set prices and allot quotas. The latter category comprises dairy products, poultry and eggs. Our Beef-Calf programme will operate independently until the Government's contracts with producers expire in 1980, at which time it will also come under the commission's regulations. The programme is thus designed to embrace all commodities for which no federal support is available, except in those cases where prices established by marketing boards are higher than the stabilization support level. Commodities for which stabilization is made available will be supported at a level equal to 90 percent of the average market price for the previous five years, adjusted for production cost changes in the current year as compared to the five year average, This is the same level at which the federal programme operates, so Ontario's plan should have no undesirable ef- fects on the marketing systems in our sister provinces. Mr. Newman said if unusual circumstances made it necessary, the commission could provide extra support for a specific commodity by tem- porarily increasing the base level above 90 percent. All the commissioners will be members of Ontario's agricultural community and every effort will be made to ensure a broad representation of interests. The Commission's general manager will be its chief administrative officer. Subject to ministerial approval, the com- mission may also engage outside experts if necessary. It will be empowered to consult and con- duct discussions with marketing boards and any other organizations or groups of producers of this province. The Commission's accounts will be audited by the Provincial Auditor and its annual reports will be submitted to this House. Ontario's promised legislation to protect buyers of new houses from shoddy workmanship has been introduced by the Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations. The Act, expected to take effect this fall, would guarantee that "a home is con- structed in a workmanlike manner, free of major structural defects and free from defects in materials, is fit for habitation and constructed in accordance with the Ontario Building Code." The warranties would cover all defects for one year and major structural faults for five years, and will apply to all new homes except cottages and rental units, The Minister told reporters that "high consumer demand for new housing has resulted in a situation where even houses which are poorly built are readily sold at high prices, which makes this law necessary." The law, will curb the small number of builders - "less than 15 percent" - who construct poor housing, and under the legislation all builders in the province will have to register with a non-profit cor- poration, to include represen- tatives of the government and the Consumers Association of Canada, which will have the power to order builders to carry out repairs. Some three years ago, in- cidentally, Phil Givens, Liberal MPP for Armourdale, introduced a Private Member's Bill to provide protection for purchasers of new homes and mandatory adherence to the minimum standards of the Ontario Building Code. His Bill also proposed that houses be inspected at least four times during the construction period and be warrantied by the • builder against all hidden defects for a period of five years after completion of construction and against all obvious defects for a period of one year after com- pletion. There has been considerable discussion in the Legislature recently about industrial health hazards, as a result of questions raised by Liberal Leader Stuart Smith and other Opposition Members. The Minister of Health announced that the Government has inititated courses to train inspectors from the Ministries of Labour, Environment and Natural Resources, to recognize potential health hazards, making simple tests on air conditions and noise. In the past, inspectors have checked on such matters as industrial safety only. Following the Minister's announcement, the Minister of Labour said she would like to employ women to inspect industrial plants because "females are a little more sen- sitive to housekeeping conditions than perhaps some males are". At present all the 170 inspectors are men, and the Minister said she genuinely believes that women are generally neater than men and would be more likely to spot health hazards caused by dirt and dust. The. Minister of Health also announced that he will try to ensure reports of his Ministry's Occupational Health Protection Branch are posted in work places. The reports usually go to the Management of companies inspected and are not always shared with workers. In the event that there are any legislative obstacles to posting this in- formation in work ,places, ,the Minister intends to endeavour to obtain Cabinet support for removing them. According to the Minister of Natural Resources anyone can purchase up to 100 pounds of dynamite at a local hardware store or other licenced outlet. In an interview the Minister said that all it takes to buy explosives is proof of identity. Purchasers must also sign for the dynamite and indicate what they intend to use it for and where, but they are not asked whether they have any experience in using explosives or whether they intend "to blow up their mothers or blow up a bank or anything." The Minister had previously been asked in the Legislature whether the Ontario Mining Act will be changed to make it difficult for people to steal dynamite from mining operations. He said his Ministry has a committee composed of mining and labour represen- tatives studying possible revisions of the Act. Other items of interest this week include the news that a research team of Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications is in the initial stages of collecting information on electrically-powered car models and may recommend some for testing in the fall. One possible public application would allow commuters to use electric cars between their homes and the nearest GO-transit station. Also, the Natural Resources Minister said Ontario will not reduce the number of beach patrols in provincial parks this year, although such a reduction had previously been announced, mummi iiiiii maamilliaa lllll ADAMS Heating & Cooling ▪ • Heating Systems of All Types r7: INSTALLED, MODERNIZED and MAINTAINED • • General Sheet Metal Work • Air Conditioning 'E. _r. • . 4 E • Humidifiers .-:- = ...- = r.• i • Ventilation = .F.
